Problems using AOL - aol/aim password problem


Expert: Steve - 4/17/2007

Question
Hi Steve, my problem is that having cleaned up my pc by reinstalling the OS. I had saved all user names, passwords etc. needed for all programs, IM's etc. but when I reinstalled AIM I can't log in!!!! not on AOL either, both tell me that the screen name or password are in valid... then when I go to forgotten password option, it tells me that my information does match their records!!!  it's very frustrating and I can't seem to get my account back... PLEASE HELP!!!! Thanks, Dave :)

Answer
hi,
sorry you are having problems. You can try totally uninstalling the AOL software.Then re-install and it will ask if you are a current account holder,say yes and use same passwords etc...If you try that it should work, let me know and good luck!

STEVE
